Conditional Inference Trees and Forests for Feature Selection

arXiv:2607. 01417v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Conditional inference trees (CIT) and conditional inference forests (CIF) reduce split-selection bias by testing features before choosing split thresholds, but repeated permutation tests and threshold searches can make these methods computationally expensive.
